Preston's Epic Blog

 At the moment I have a total of 194 points in canvas right now, which puts me at a B range if I were to finish the semester with the strict 30 points a week. Given this class has a large amount of extra credit I'm confident in myself to do as many as I can in order to hit that 410 point mark at the end of the semester.

My introduction is exactly where I want it to be and I feel that the introductions I've read for my peers that I'm getting a subtle grasp of who they are as people.   I chose this opt...

It truly gave me a sense of childhood from reading and watching mythological type books and shows respectively. I have no complaints from the Mahabharata because I enjoyed it very much so as well, but the Ramayana was definitely my favorite overall. When writing my reading notes I've taken an approach in summarizing as much as I could with the occasional opinion or two thrown in. Doing this has allowed me to not only get the gist of the epic, but also be able to code in my head what happened through my opinions. When it comes to the story assignments, I feel the stories I've written have been good and creative on my part. However, I've missed several of the assignments I believe. This is simply from me being too ambitious with what I out on my plate this semester and is definitely something I need to provide more tim...
